Mark the Mute Group option and you'll no longer receive notifications for the new messages on that specific group

While you can easily turn off/turn on notifications for each group separately, there is no way to disable receiving notifications for a specific single conversation. But you can completely disable receiving notifications for new messages on Viber for Android, by doing as follows:

1. Go to Settings >> Apps and the find and open Viber. Now make sure to disable the "Show notifications" option2. Now open Viber application, go to the app's settings and then the Notifications settings3. Unmark these options: "Show message preview", "New Message Popup" and "Light screen for messages"4.

Maybe you can advise. I run Viber on Nexus 5 \Android ver 5.0 . I have chosen "Mark the "Use system sounds", tap the "Notification sound" and set it to Silent." - BUT I still receive sound notification when viber is open in single conversation when user write me... Is it possible somehow to mute it?

@androidwidgetcenter I bought new device. But as I remember it was same problem on KitKat. But previously on Galaxy s4 I just have muted all notification sounds(except ringtones). What is impossible to do on Nexus 5.
